In the event Lessee defaults in the performance of any of its obligations herein contained, including without limitation, payment ofany monthly lease payment due hereunder, the Lessor shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to cure the default and to apply [he said security deposit to the cost [hereof. Any such utilization of the Security Deposit by [he Lessor shall not be a defense by Lessee to any action by [he Lessor arising out of any default by Lessee, and on demand, the Lessee shall restore [he Security Deposit to the full amount se[ forth in the schedule in Exhibit A. On the expiration of this lease or any extension or renewal thereof, provided the Lessee has paid all of the lease payments required hereby and fully performed all of [he other provisions of this Lease to be performed on its part, the Lessor shall return to [he Lessee any then remaining balance of said security deposit. 3.04 Default If the Lessee fails to pay any lease payment or other amount herein required by the due date of such payment, or if any execution or any writ of process shall be issued in any action or proceeding against the Lessee whereby the Equipment may be seized, taken, or distrained, or if a proceeding in bankruptcy, receivership, or insolvency shall be commenced by Lessee voluntarily, or involuntarily against Lessee, or if Lessee shall enter into any arrangement or composition with its creditors, or if Lessee fails to observe, keep, or perform any other provision of this Lease required [o be observed, kept or performed by the Lessee, and if Lessee fails to cure such default within ten days following written notice ofsuch default by Lessor to Lessee, Lessor shall have the right to any or all of the following remedies: A.

I[ is acknowledged by Lessee that the Equipment leased hereunder has been specially ordered and acquired by Lessor for Lessee hereunder, and [ha[ [he Equipment will have no determinable lease value for lease to parties other than Lessee.
